wow, has it been a year since i went to ireland with katie?
even death is beautiful in Ireland
Just around this time last year, my darling daughter Katie (who was born Katherine Kennedy Galloway, such a pretty green-eyed Irish girl) and I went to Ireland together. It was her first trip out of the country, and she’d always wanted to see Ireland so I felt incredibly lucky to have the chance to take her. I was attending an academic conference in Dublin, so we went several days early, and stayed in a gorgeously wonderful little B&B in Lough Gur, under the eagle-eye care of a marvelous woman named Bridget. After traveling around for those pre-conference days, Katie explored Dublin while I conferenced at Trinity University.
Ireland is even more beautiful than people say it is. I think it must be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Thanks to Pip for her comment in the previous post, mentioning Galway. It caused me to look back at my flickr set:
